You totally should have let Brady play with the ice cup! When we were in Galveston at dinner with the G's and my sister's fam (and it was 8:30pm) the only thing that saved Ben from having a complete meltdown due to exhaustion was the cup of ice I let him play with! I would much rather have him do that than lay on the floor and scream! But yeah, I feel your pain. But I've found that it's never as bad as you think it was at the time!<BR/><BR/>My sister informed me on the WW blog that those slices of cheesecake have over 900 calories! Aahh! NOT sad I didn't go. Okay, maybe a little. ;)Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03700664596261357708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050555110380676620.post-57257132606388396672008-07-30T22:06:00.000-05:002008-07-30T22:06:00.000-05:00$1.50 cheesecake day?!

For awhile I brought snacks with me and let them much on them while we waited for our orders to arrive. Having to sit and wait with nothing to do while you're food is being prepared is hard for an adult so I'm sure it's even harder for our kids. And I think every child acts differently around other people than they do just for us. I try not to judge other people by the way their kids behave and I hope they pay me the same courtesy.Julie{isCocoandCocoa}https://www.blogger.com/profile/00464841177721604826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050555110380676620.post-33588731670804892302008-07-30T19:57:00.000-05:002008-07-30T19:57:00.000-05:00I'm guessing that at least in part he's reacting t...I'm guessing that at least in part he's reacting to the stress you are giving off in anticipation of his change in behaviour. It may also be his way of ensuring that he gets most (or more) of your attention when it would otherwise be focused elsewhere. Add to that the natural unease when he is in a strange situation. <BR/><BR/>Tying him to a post outside the restaurant might work. <BR/><BR/>Love. <BR/><BR/>Dad<BR/><BR/>PS: Just kidding!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050555110380676620.post-41771463030006752372008-07-30T19:37:00.000-05:002008-07-30T19:37:00.000-05:00Sierra gets really silly around other people.

She doesn't misbehave to get attention, she just gets weird. And it really bothers me sometimes too because I want people to see the sweet calm side of her, but she doesn't want to show it.Mindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844402275536650172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5050555110380676620.post-32971469543045134032008-07-30T19:03:00.000-05:002008-07-30T19:03:00.000-05:00aww!! I think they did really good today! Brady is...aww!! I think they did really good today! Brady is such a sweetheart and that water on the floor was totally the lid's fault...it slipped out of his hands! It's hard when it's naptime...and all that WAITING and SITTING! UGH...but worth it in the end.<BR/>Bella is the same way, though. She gets all defiant with me around other people...which she never does at home! <BR/>Kids! I guess we will spend their whole lives trying to figure their sweet souls out!Simply Sarah *K*https://www.blogger.com/profile/01169236876784430430noreply@blogger.com
